This application claims the benefit of priority to Taiwan Patent Application No. 109100938, filed on Jan. 10, 2020. The entire content of the above identified application is incorporated herein by reference.
Some references, which may include patents, patent applications and various publications, may be cited and discussed in the description of this disclosure. The citation and/or discussion of such references is provided merely to clarify the description of the present disclosure and is not an admission that any such reference is “prior art” to the disclosure described herein. All references cited and discussed in this specification are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties and to the same extent as if each reference was individually incorporated by reference.
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSUREThe present disclosure relates to an assembly structure and an element thereof, and more particularly to a zipper head assembly structure and a sliding element thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSUREBasic fastening components of common items of clothing are rarely anything other than buttons or zippers. Compared to buttons, the zipper structure has better usability and stronger structural characteristics. A common zipper structure includes a zipper head and a zipper tape that serve cooperatively as a guiding part for pulling and reciprocating movement of the zipper structure, so that the zipper structure has become more popular in clothing and accessories. However, zipper heads in the related art still have room for improvement.
SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSUREIn response to the above-referenced technical inadequacies, the present disclosure provides a zipper head assembly structure and a sliding element thereof.
In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a zipper head assembly structure, including a sliding element, an elastic element and a pulling element. The sliding element includes a first sliding portion, a second sliding portion corresponding to the first sliding portion, a connection portion connected between the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion, two riveted portions disposed on the first sliding portion, and two stop portions respectively adjacent to the two riveted portions. The elastic element is disposed on the sliding element. The elastic element includes a retaining portion retained by the connection portion, a movable portion movably passing through the first sliding portion, and an elastic portion connected between the retaining portion and the movable portion. The pulling element includes a pivot portion movably disposed on the first sliding portion and two abutting portions respectively connected to two opposite sides of the pivot portion. The pivot portion includes two pivot sections respectively pivotally mated with the two riveted portions, and an abutting section connected between the two pivot sections. When the pulling element has not been moved relative to the sliding element yet and is substantially horizontally placed on the first sliding portion, the elastic portion of the elastic element downwardly abuts against the abutting section of the pivot portion of the pulling element. When the pulling element has been moved relative to the sliding element so as to make the pulling element substantially perpendicular to the first sliding portion, the abutting section of the pivot portion of the pulling element upwardly abuts against the elastic portion of the elastic element, and the two abutting portions of the pulling element respectively abut against the two stop portions, so that the pulling element is blocked by the two stop portions.
In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a zipper head assembly structure, including a sliding element, an elastic element and a pulling element. The sliding element includes a first sliding portion, two riveted portions disposed on the first sliding portion, and two stop portions respectively adjacent to the two riveted portions. The elastic element is disposed on the sliding element. The pulling element includes a pivot portion movably disposed on the first sliding portion and two abutting portions respectively connected to two opposite sides of the pivot portion. When the pulling element has been moved relative to the sliding element so as to make the pulling element substantially perpendicular to the first sliding portion, the two abutting portions of the pulling element respectively abut against the two stop portions, so that the pulling element is blocked by the two stop portions.
In yet another aspect, the present disclosure provides a sliding element, including a first sliding portion, a second sliding portion corresponding to the first sliding portion, a connection portion connected between the first sliding portion and the second sliding portion, two riveted portions disposed on the first sliding portion, and two stop portions respectively adjacent to the two riveted portions. When a pulling element has been moved relative to the sliding element so as to make the pulling element substantially perpendicular to the first sliding portion, the two abutting portions of the pulling element respectively abut against the two stop portions, so that the pulling element is blocked by the two stop portions.
Therefore, by virtue of “the sliding element including a first sliding portion, two riveted portions disposed on the first sliding portion, and two stop portions respectively adjacent to the two riveted portions” and “the pulling element including a pivot portion movably disposed on the first sliding portion and two abutting portions respectively connected to two opposite sides of the pivot portion”, when the pulling element has been moved relative to the sliding element so as to make the pulling element substantially perpendicular to the first sliding portion, the two abutting portions of the pulling element respectively abut against the two stop portions, so that the pulling element is blocked by the two stop portions.
Furthermore, by virtue of “the two riveted portions being disposed on the first sliding portion” and “the two stop portions being respectively adjacent to the two riveted portions”, when the pulling element has been moved relative to the sliding element so as to make the pulling element substantially perpendicular to the first sliding portion, the two abutting portions of the pulling element respectively abut against the two stop portions, so that the pulling element is blocked by the two stop portions.
